Eligibility!

Constitutional eligibility for the House of Representatives:"No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen. "

Constitutional eligibility for the Senate:"No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen."

Constitutional eligibility for President of the United States:"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

You know how slow I am mentally, so I once again need your help!Why does it say "Citizen" when it defines the eligibility requirements for Representative and Senator, but "natural born Citizen" for President?

Let's see what would happen if someone from the right broke these laws.. This country has a serious double standard happening and it is being enforced by bullies and liars.We are now more divided than at any other time in history. Four more years with these Saul Alinsky followers in charge and you can say good-bye.
